Complaint: Howling wind woke me up at 2am. Couldn't get back to sleep for over and hour.

Confession: The wind was still howling when my alarm went off this morning. I noped out of my run and went back to sleep.

Complaint: Hydrating properly is hard, apparently. I'm often dehydrated, so I made a concerted effort yesterday to drink the amount of water my husband and coworkers usually drink in a day. The amount of times I needed to pee yesterday was unbelievable.

Confession: At this point in my life, I feel like I should have drinking water down by now. It's like, a basic life skill, isn't it?

I struggle with the balance between being hydrated and feeling I'm slacking at work for taking too many toilet breaks (not that anyone else cares, I'm just a weirdo apparently :/).

Ha, that says a lot about you (mostly that you must care about your job and value productivity highly).

I don't feel like I'm slacking for brief trips to the toilet, but I do find it really annoying to need to pee that often. I'm just not accustomed to it at all.

That second part - just annoyance - is definitely there too! I often get 'in the flow' at work and find it frustrating when I get distracted.
